Flash memory is a form of EEPROM, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory.

I sense a business opportunity here: killer drones!

These would be designed to go after and knock down the hovering picture-snapping kind, which would be easy pickings. The killer drones don't need to hover - they fly faster than the hovering kind and just go straight at 'em. Some kind of netting or framework to snag and entangle the drone rotors perhaps. Option of either hauling it back as evidence, or in true bird of prey fashion just applying a "killing blow" and letting it fall to the ground. Developing different kill mechanisms should be fun. Robot wars in the air!

It's Wozniak.

And don't forget that those armies of near-slaves also work for all tech companies, not just Apple.

I always go with Logitech.

Do you work for the Microsoft advertising department?

Yes it was. The target audience was movie pirates.

BTW, please stop calling flash as "Memory" (in the title) because memory is often confused with RAM.

Indeed, I was reading the title and summary and thought "Slashdot really is dead" if they confuse memory and storage like the ignorant masses.

Sure. So now I get an additional log daemon which doesn't feed logs back upstream. Explain how this is simplifying my system.

They claim they're moving things, not removing them. If done well this will help KDE immensely because current prefs dialogs treat trivial and significant settings as equally important by barfing them all up together into a big dialog.

Maybe the KDE team is thinking about going into advertising?

Thomas Pfeiffer Thomas prefers a layered feature exposure so that users can enjoy certain advanced features at a later stage after they get accustomed to the basic functionality of the application.

Either I misunderstand, or power users will have to wait to be able to access advanced features.

Why not go with the usual basic settings, with a button/tab to access advanced settings? Is that too complex for end-users?
